  Biogas Producing System from Elephant Dung  
     
  Inside the National Elephant Institute area, there are three Biogas producing places;  
     
 

 
     
 
  1.
Biogas pits at the National Elephant Institute. There are
two pits which their volume is 100 cubic meter each. This Biogas used for electricity production and also used as the fuel for cooking by pipe line transportation to those mahout’s houses.
  2.
Biogas pits at The Royal Elephant House. The first one is
50 cubic meter. They are being used as the main source of power to run pump-engine for all uses inside The Royal Elephant House. Besides, The Royal Elephant Mahout can get another benefit from Biogas to reduce the cost of living by using it as a fuel to cook their meals as well.
  3.
A Biogas pit at a Training School of Elephants and
Mahouts. It’s 100 cubic meter. And also useful for the mahout’s village in the school to get their cooking done. Biogas gives the same level of heat as LPG gas so it’s very harmless.
